The Bears hired Dan Rouschar to tutor the offensive line, which will have a new-look in 2025. The entire interior of the Bears' offensive line are free agents, from center Coleman Shelton and right guard Matt Pryor to left guard Teven Jenkins. Rouschar will be in charge of building an offensive line that gave up a franchise-record 68 sacks in the 2024 season and correcting play there in order to protect Caleb Williams.
Speaking of Williams, the Bears have hired his next tutor in JT Barrett from the Lions. Barrett was a former star quarterback at Ohio State and
Al Harris is in charge of leading a talented Bears defensive back group that includes Jaquan Brisker, Kevin Byard, Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson. Harris, a former Packers' cornerback, helped lift the Cowboys' secondary. Under Harris' guidance, Daron Bland and Jourdan Lewis put together stellar seasons. Bland was a first-team All-Pro after the 2023 season.
